About the Algonquin Tea Company

The Algonquin Tea Co. started out with a simple vision of a herbal tea company that focused on local indigenous plants. Today, we continue to grow or wildcraft everything for the teas locally (out of the Upper Ottawa Valley). We've sold millions of cups of tea and educated hundreds of apprentices and workshop participants in the ways of living with the Earth.  Read more...

Worktrade Opportunities

We have run an informal farm/Algonquin tea apprenticeship program for thirteen years. The last few years have proven to be challenging, keeping up with life and work demands and still having the time and energy to give the apprentices what they deserve for their commitment. This year the program is taking a new approach. There is no longer a full-time apprenticeship program. In its place, one 7-9 day week per month (the last full week of each month) from April to October, we are having “Free Work Weeks”. The apprenticeship has evolved into this series of workweeks.  Read more...

About Our Process

Our herbs are presently sustainably wildcrafted in Whitney and surrounding area. We only pick as much as a deer might graze, along moving rivers beside the border of Algonquin Park as well as long abandoned fields and forest clearings. Raspberry leaves and the roots are picked on farms that have been unused for 10 or more years, where industrial methods never were used, and where the original owner/farmer has given us permission, and we know the land's history. Crops which cannot be wildcrafted sustainably, such as Red Clover and Anise Hyssop and Echinacea, are grown on certified organic farms.  Read more...
